CQ- Telecom panel recommends for full number portability

AMobile number portability will be a reality soon as the Telecom Commission on 13th June, gave its approval for introduction of full mobile number portability.
The exact date of implementation will be decided after consulting with the TRAI.
Now the mobile users will soon be able to retain their phone numbers while relocating or changing operators in any part of the country.     
At present, number portability allows users to retain phone numbers only within the same circle. For example, if an Airtel user in Delhi relocates to Chennai, he cannot retain the phone number. This will change once the full MNP is introduced.
The Commission also gave its approval to a revised strategy for National Optical Fibre Network under which 2.5 lakh gram Panchayats have access to broadband connectivity by March 2017. Under the revised plan, the roll out will happen in phases. A target has been set to complete rollout in 50,000 Panchayats by March 2015, another one lakh by March 2016 and all the 2.5 lakh by March 2017. The project has been already delayed by two years and this decision could speed up the roll out
